Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into Wuthering Waves, and let me tell you, the “beginners choice” thing had me sweating. I mean, who do you pick? You’ve got this whole roster of cool characters, and you’re just starting out. It’s overwhelming!
First, I spent like, a solid hour just reading through all the character descriptions. I wanted to know their skills, their elements, everything. I even jotted down some notes – yeah, I’m that kind of player. I felt I have to make a sheet to record something useful, at least I think so.

Then, I started looking at some gameplay videos. I figured seeing them in action would help, right? Watching other people play gave me a much better sense of how each character actually felt to use. Some characters looked cool on paper but felt clunky in the videos, while others surprised me with how smooth their combos were.
After the videos, I went to my friend who had played the game for about 2 days. He also recommended me to get the character Jianxin. He said it’s powerful and easy to build a team. I have also noticed that in most players’ videos.
My final decision: I ended up picking Jianxin. She seemed like a solid all-around choice, and honestly, her design was just too awesome to pass up. I am really happy about this!
Here’s a breakdown of my thought process, just in case it helps anyone else:
- Read everything: Seriously, read all the character info. It’s boring, but it helps.
- Watch videos: Don’t just rely on descriptions. See how the characters actually play.
- Talk it out: Talk to your friends, or the gaming community.
- Trust your gut: Ultimately, pick the character you’re most excited to play.
It’s been a few days now, and I’m loving my choice. Exploring and fighting with her is super fun. I’m not a huge fan of hard-core games so I picked the easiest character. No regrets here!
